Answer 1

Answer:

1) What is the function of relaxin?

Relaxin is a hormone produced by the ovary and the placenta with important effects in the female reproductive system and during pregnancy. In preparation for childbirth, it relaxes the ligaments in the pelvis and softens and widens the cervix.

Explanation:

2) The GI hormones that regulate gut mucosal growth positively or negatively include gastrin, CCK, secretin, somatostatin, ghrelin, bombesin, and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP).

3) the walls of the atria of the heart produce the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), the gastrointestinal tract produces the hormones gastrin, secretin, and cholecystokinin, which aid in digestion, and the kidneys produce erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the formation of red blood cells.
